A HIMSS Webinar

A recent survey of clinicians by HIMSS Analytics shows that despite the spotlight on HIPAA compliance and security issues in healthcare, clinicians report several IT vulnerabilities at provider organizations. Learn the results of this study and hear from a panel of experts on policies and best practices to securely enable the use of clinician-owned technology.

During this webinar, you’ll learn:

How clinicians in the U.S. feel about the security of patient information at their organization

Relevant tools and capabilities clinicians wish they had or were authorized to use

The prevalence and consequences of the use of non-authorized IT services to get work done

Many health care organizations have considered instituting a Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) program, but have run into challenges in implementation of this new discipline. The National Consortium of Telehealth Resource Centers August 17th webinar will offer insights into the value of RPM and debut a toolkit aimed at helping organizations implement a program. The presentation will start with a discussion on the value of RPM and its implementation, then move on to an exciting new toolkit developed by the Mid-Atlantic and Northwest Telehealth Resource Centers. You won’t want to miss this opportunity to learn about RPM implementation.

A HITEQ Highlights Webinar

The intent of NCQA Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) continues to be recognition of primary care practice models that have achieved a mature level of transformation toward improving population health; improving the experience of care for both patient and provider; and reducing the cost of care through greater efficiencies of integrated patient-centered care coordination. The redesigned process uniquely positions practices, staff and other key stakeholders to focus more on performance and quality improvement, and alignment with public and private initiatives in health care that reward value-based care.

During this webinar, we highlighted the NCQA PCMH Core and Elective criteria. We also focused on advanced topics such as the Distinction Modules and eCQMs, and then ended the learning session by taking a deeper dive to discuss the integral role pre-validated health IT plays in practice transformation and physician alignment with public and private payer programs that reward for value-based care.

An In-Person ONC Event

On August 15-16, 2017, the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) will host a two-day, in-person only, technical interoperability forum with standards and technology industry stakeholders to:

Gain insight into current and expected interoperability challenges, including information blocking.

Better understand next steps that respective stakeholders can take individually and collectively to improve interoperability among health IT systems.

The 21st Century Cures Act charges ONC with improving interoperability among health IT systems, including reducing information blocking, and enhancing the usability, accessibility, and privacy and security of health IT. Likewise, the law encourages continued engagement with industry stakeholders to inform both challenges and successes in achieving interoperability.

These two days will focus on how ONC, our federal partners, the health care industry, and the technology sector can come together to shape the technical aspects of interoperability to achieve these important goals. If you lead, develop, and implement health IT systems or standards, this event is for you.
